Hi Nathan

First, I’m not 100% sure for my reply:

1. Budgeted Costs for an assignment is by default calculated rate*units.

2. You may set a different rate, if for "rate source" override is selected.

3. You may set a parameter for a project - under the tab "calculations" - that units will be calculated on costs.



Then you may create a global change in the goup "resource assigments".

"If budgeted non-labour units > 0 (or any appropriate criterium)

Then Budgeted Cost = At Completion cost"



The walkthrough will be by assignment and so budgeted cost will be for this specific assignment.

Hope this will help

Thanks Dieter,



I’m not sure I conveyed what it is I am trying to do well enough. I need to actually change each Budgeted Nonlabour Cost field to match the At Completion Nonlabour Cost against each indivual activity.



Rather than doing this manually one by one is there a fast way to make one match the other on every activty?



Thanks,



Nathan

Hi Nathan



You’ll need a Baseline. Then you can display: "Variance - BL Project Nonlabor Cost". (right mouse click in the table area --> Columns --> costs --> BL... )
